Do visually impaired students
have equal opportunities to
learn in
an everyday classroom?
What tools can be used to
ensure equal opportunities?
How can we present
information differently?
Break down assignments into steps.
Let the students take their time
and work at their own pace.
Other ideas for assistance?
Some students may require assistance on
exams.
Perhaps: dictation of the questions
a scribe to write their answers
a different format of the exam
(braille, larger format, other modification)
